The questioner : May Allah reward you. Regarding the takbir of entering prayer, some people arrive while the imam is bowing and they are in a hurry ... they say Allahu Akbar and bend over while saying the takbir?
The Shaykh : In this case, his prayer is a voluntary prayer; his prayer is a voluntary prayer, and he must repeat the obligatory prayer. That is, he should be informed of this.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : The benefit of saying ...
The Shaykh : Yes, the benefit ..
The questioner : What is the difference between it and ...
The Shaykh : I mean, you are asking why it is not obligatory?
The questioner : What is the difference between the two scenarios?
The Shaykh : How is the difference?
The questioner : ... What is the difference between the two scenarios?
The Shaykh : Yes, which scenario?
The questioner : That it is obligatory ... the bowing, and it is a recommended practice.
The Shaykh : Now, the takbir of bowing: either one leaves it or one does it. If one does it, that is better; and if one leaves it, there is no blame on him. Some scholars hold that one must say the takbir for bowing, and they say that these two takbirs did not occur in one place, so that one cannot suffice for the other. This is because the takbir of entering prayer is only said while standing, and the takbir of bowing is said while bending over, so one does not suffice for the other. And this is undoubtedly a strong opinion, that both takbirs are necessary. Has the time passed, it appears?
The questioner : … O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The time is up.
